In Their Own Voice: Stories and Songs from St. Paul's River
Thanks to a dear friend, Louise Abbott has reconnected with the Lower North Shore, a remote region of Quebec that is close to her heart. In July 2022, she and Niels Jensen travelled to the village of St. Paul's River, an hour west of Blanc-Sablon, and spent nearly one month shooting stills and video footage for the Whiteley Museum. Louise then produced a multimedia project for the museum titled  In Their Own Voice: Stories and Songs from St. Paul's River. It includes short films, texts, photos, illustrations, maps, and audio recordings.Â
